San Diego delays
SAN · KSAN · San Diego International Airport
San Diego has a standing FAA notice open. It has been in place since Oct 1, 2026, and is scheduled to run through Jan 1, 2027.
This is a long-running restriction on how SAN can be used — a curfew, a runway out of service, a limit on a category of traffic — not something happening to today's schedule. Scheduled airline flights normally operate straight through one. Nothing is being held on the ground and no delay program is in effect.

About San Diego delays
- Is San Diego delayed right now?
- The status at the top of this page is the FAA's, refreshed every minute — it says whether SAN has a ground stop, a ground delay program, or a runway or traffic restriction open, when it started, and when the FAA expects it to end. An advisory describes the airport, not your flight: it tells you the odds, not the outcome.
- Does an FAA advisory at SAN mean my flight is cancelled?
- Rarely. A ground stop holds inbound aircraft at their origin airports and usually lifts within an hour or two; a ground delay program paces arrivals so your departure time moves rather than disappears. Cancellations are an airline decision, and your airline is the only source for what happens to a specific flight number.
- Why does the end time keep moving?
- Because it is a forecast, not a schedule. The FAA publishes an expected end time when it issues a program and revises it as conditions change, so a stop first posted to end at 16:30 can be pushed to 17:15 and then 18:00. That is normal, and it is exactly why the end time is worth watching rather than trusting.
- What can I fly out of instead of San Diego?
- The alternatives on this page are the other airports serving the same metro, with their live FAA status beside them. A weather event usually hits a whole region at once, so a neighbouring airport being clear is worth checking but not worth assuming — and re-booking is your airline's call, not ours.
- Where does this come from?
- Live FAA airport status — the same upstream that powers the FAA's Air Traffic Control System Command Center, including the issued and scheduled end times most tools drop. We refresh every minute. If something looks off, the FAA's official status page is always authoritative.
